What it does
New Berlin’s law allows the village to sell about 7.54 acres of parkland to Good Shepherd Communities for a nursing and rehabilitation facility, if the village directs at least the land’s fair market value to local parks or recreation facilities.
Argument forThe sale could make room for Good Shepherd Communities to build a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in New Berlin.
Argument againstSelling the 7.54 acres could reduce space for local recreation, even though the village must invest at least its fair market value in local parks or recreation facilities.
More detail
The village may stop using the described land as parkland and sell it to Good Shepherd Communities at fair market value. The authorization covers about 7.54 acres in the Village of New Berlin and allows a sale to Good Shepherd Communities for a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. The village must dedicate at least the land’s fair market value to buying new parkland or improving existing parks or recreation facilities in the village. If the village received federal support to buy, maintain, or improve the land, it must first meet federal requirements for changing the land’s use. Those requirements may include providing replacement land of equal fair market value and usefulness. The law takes effect immediately. If the village received federal support for the land, the sale and change of use must wait until it meets applicable federal requirements.
